My truck has all of a sudden started running rough and I'm experiencing high egts and low power. Here is some background - A week ago my truck failed to shut down with the key switch. I pulled the fss and found a chip out of the plunger. I put the fss back in and rigged a temporary shut down...

Well since pushing it a bit harder, I've seen 23 psi wide *** open and I've managed to see around 1050* egt. I wonder why boost is so low. I don't think i have any leaks.

Awesome. Glad to help.

Here you go.

I will post some up tomorrow.

Thanks, man. I've adjusted the smoke screw to clean things up a bit and the star wheel had been adjusted to its maximum prior to me. There is no collar on the power screw so I assume it's been adjusted, although I don't know how much. As far as the turbine housing goes, well....I don't know. The...

This truck is a 1991 W250 with 400,000 miles on the clock that I bought from a dealer in Sparta, Tennessee. The IC'ed 12v has supposedly been rebuilt around 20-60,000miles ago, depending on who I talked to at the dealership and is backed by the Getrag 5sp. A pacbrake exhaust brake has been...
